Hartalika Teej
हरतालिका तीज
The rite
Hartalika Teej is the women's fast remembering Parvati's penance, observed with clay idols, night vigil stories, and morning arghya. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma guides the katha in Hindi at your Bengaluru home so daughters-in-law understand the shiva-parvati story beyond Bollywood songs.
Time at the house: About 2 hours evening plus morning guidance
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
Why families book it
Married women book when Karva Chauth and Teej both fall in busy work months and need clear rules.
Mothers want daughters to hear proper katha before college hostels restrict night rituals.

- Bhadrpada Shukla Tritiya evening
- When newlywed observes first Hartalika at in-laws
